A pair of new shoes is what I need
to run this race so big
for I have to tread on many paths
some explored by all
some explored by few
and others by none at all.
A pair of new of shoes is what i need
as the old ones have been weared and teared
and can carry the burden of my feet nowhere
and if I do run in these, the pebbles
shall surely pierce my feet.
A pair of new shoes is what i need
for I have to run a mile
not stopping once to catch my breath
for I cannot let anyone from behind
take the place where all the glories for me await.
A pair of new shoes is what I need
as that is the necessity of the time
and i shall but put my feet
in the new shoes that await me
but in the old rusted wear
is where my footprints shall always be.
